I actually had that thought too when I read the article. I hope she just does her little recurring bit and than leaves.

I'm not even sure why she'd want to play a lesbian on 'Two and a Half Men?" Not that I have anything against her playing a lesbian per se, but to do it on this show?

Was she a lesbian on House?

She was offered full time on House and I thought she said no to do broadway or something. So I find it weird she is doing this dead end dying show (just like House) even for 5 episodes and then maybe more. Weird.

They had to have some reason so that she wouldn't sleep with Waldon without Waldon being unsexy or seeing it as a challenge he must accept.

Hopefully that's the only reason and they're not dusting off their yellowed lesbian joke book.

(The book is yellowed, not the lesbians.)

I figured that it's more of a reset, with her becoming the new "Charlie" charecter. She's going to be playing a lesbian version of Charlie who has "returned home" to connect with her only remaining family.

That would insinuate that she's there to put Kutcher in line, rather than to pick up the slack left behind by that August kid.

Charlie got away with being a letch because he's old, and doesn't know any better.

Jake got away with it to a degree because he's an idiot, and doesn't know any better.

Alan does not get away with it.

Using a lesbian as a sexual predator allows the old white male writers a loophole which affords them to continue using women as interchangeable sex furniture without falling prey to the complication of their hero being regarded publicly as a vile cretin who should know better.
